Chapter 41: Miscarriage
Zhou Ziting's face did not change, next to the old lady, and said with a smile, "When I entered the house, I asked the maid's grandmother if she was in good health. ”
Qingyun's family affairs, the first time Mrs. Jiang came, she was really angry with the old lady.
Although she inquired about the affairs of Bofu, her starting point was for the good of the old lady.
Not only will she not disgust the old lady, but she feels that her granddaughter is filial and caring.
Qingyun sat on the side and listened, only to feel that this cousin girl was really amazing, her mouth was as sweet as smeared with honey, no matter what she said, she always held the old lady, and the old lady came first in everything, no wonder the old lady loved her.
The old lady only felt sorry for Zhou Ziting's tired journey and asked her to go down to rest.
Zhou Ziting shook her head, hugged the old lady's arm, and said softly, "Ziting is not tired, she just wants to rely on her grandmother quietly." ”
Mu Qingxue played with the embroidered handkerchief and said, "Cousin, you are not tired, just tell us about Xuzhou, is Xuzhou fun?" ”
Zhou Ziting looked at her and said with a smile, "The Great Jin Dynasty, the richest and most prosperous place is Kyoto, there is no place next to it that can be compared, after I returned to Xuzhou, in addition to worshiping my mother, I also participated in a few banquets, which is far worse than Kyoto, by the way, I lived in a post station yesterday, and I heard people talk about the peach blossom banquet in Xuanwang's Mansion, and said that our Bofu received an invitation, is it true?" ”
Mu Qingzhi covered her mouth and snickered, "The third sister's posture is wrong, and it has spread outside Kyoto so quickly?" ”
Qingyun, "......." ”
The old lady's face darkened by three points.
Zhou Ziting pursed her lips and smiled, she just listened to what the maid said, but just now Mu Qingxue choked her and asked her to inquire about the Bofu, so she deducted it on the way back and forth, even if she was nonsense, no one went to the post station to verify it, right?
Mu Qingzhi knew what Zhou Ziting meant by this, and she smiled, "The fifth sister can go to the peach blossom banquet with the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, and Cousin Ziting won't want to go with the third sister, right?" ”
Zhou Ziting looked at Mu Qingzhi and said with a smile, "I really want to go, but you and the fourth sister can't go, which round will get me a cousin." ”
Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue are both concubines, and the Xuanwang Mansion holds a peach blossom banquet, and very few people take the concubines there, at most one or two at a time.
Especially if there are two concubines in Bofu, it will not be the turn of the two of them, even if Mu Qingrou can work with the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to have an extra place.
Zhou Ziting beat herself to death with a stick, but before beating herself, she gave Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue a stick for each person.
The two of them are angry and can't be sprinkled, who told people to have self-knowledge and say that it was not her turn.
Qingyun smiled, Zhou Ziting's words had a deep meaning, she didn't belittle herself, she just stepped on Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue, after all, Mu Qingrou is also a cousin to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.
It seems that she doesn't have to fight for anything, Zhou Ziting will persuade the old lady to let her go to the peach blossom banquet.
This topic stopped, Zhou Ziting came back, it was not appropriate to mention the matter of participating in the peach blossom banquet, it seemed that she rushed back in a hurry, just for the peach blossom banquet.
When she came back from Xuzhou, she had to bring something to honor the old lady and her cousins Qingyun.
The maid brought a bunch of gifts.
Zhou Ziting gave the old lady a string of Buddhist beads, rosewood, which is said to have been begged by her kneeling in front of the Yuchan Temple in Xuzhou for three days, and it was opened by a certain master.
Except for the old lady, no one believed that it was true.
But as long as the old lady believes it, isn't it?
Zhou Ziting gave Mu Qingrou a fan of Xuzhou's specialty, a folding fan, and a beauty fan......
Mu Qingrou sent twelve, and Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue only had six.
There are only four Qingyun, plus a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Zhou Ziting also explained two sentences embarrassedly, she didn't know that Qingyun was out of the Buddha Fragrance Academy, in the Buddha Fragrance Temple, the use of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is greater than that of folding fans.
Qingyun only smiled, she felt that Zhou Ziting had not prepared a gift for her at all.
These four folding fans should have been evenly distributed from Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingzhi, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were her own.
But when someone gave a gift, she had to thank her.
There are gifts to receive, and no one is unhappy.
And Zhou Ziting is very good at giving gifts, she also gave a few blank fans by herself, which can be painted by yourself and given to friends in the boudoir.
When giving gifts, Mu Qingrou came.
She was holding a rosewood silk fan, and the fan painted a beautiful woman leaning against the window and looking at the moon, looking left and right, smiling with satisfaction.
Walking to the old lady's side, Mu Qingrou said next to the old lady, "I'm worried about attending the peach blossom banquet in a few days, and I don't have anything to send to the county lord of Yuxuan, so I will borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and send this rosewood fan, grandmother, do you think it's appropriate?" ”
The old lady looked at the folding fan and said with a smile, "Yes, the folding fan is exquisite, and there is a faint red sandalwood, the county lord should like it." ”
Mu Qingrou thanked Zhou Ziting, "Thank you, cousin." ”
Zhou Ziting said with a smile, "I knew that you were going to give away a rosewood fan, so I would have given you two more." ”
Qingyun played with the blank fan, and a smile crossed the corner of her mouth.
Zhou Ziting's words were very generous at first, but when she tasted it carefully, it implied three points of accusation, because before she gave the gift, she never thought that others would transfer the rosewood fan to others.
But Mu Qingrou is very direct, although you prepared a fan for me to give away, but unfortunately the grade is too low to give it away.
In addition to fans, there are some other gadgets, as well as Xuzhou's specialty pastries or something.
Everyone was eating, and a maid came in outside, and said a little eagerly, "Old lady, something happened to my aunt and grandmother!" ”
Qingyun was nibbling on the pastry, listening to the maid's words, she just looked at her like that, and didn't realize who the aunt and grandmother in the maid's mouth were for a long time.
Or the old lady asked, "What happened to Qingling?" ”
The maid hurriedly said, "I said that I was pregnant and had a miscarriage." ”
The old lady's face turned white when she heard this, and the Buddhist beads in her hand fell like that.
Qingyun stood up even more in shock, pitiful that she was still holding half a piece of sesame cake in her hand, and when she reacted, she threw it on the table.
Unfortunately, it smashed the magpie.
The old lady sat there, not speaking, but her face was frighteningly white.
Mother Sun stood aside, I don't know what to say, what is the Dingguo Mansion doing, my aunt and grandmother are pregnant, such a big thing, I don't tell Bofu in advance, but now I know, but it is the news of a miscarriage.
The old lady wants her aunt to be pregnant more than anyone else.
The eldest aunt and grandmother were wronged by marrying, but for the sake of the uncle, sacrificing her is helpless, if she is pregnant, for the sake of her grandson's face, the Dingguo Mansion should also help the uncle, and the eldest aunt has a stroke and is paralyzed in bed, and the hope of cure is extremely slim, if the eldest aunt goes one day, the eldest aunt and grandmother will be able to point to the dowry brought by the uncle in the future, if there is a son under the knee, even if it is just a daughter, life is more comfortable, why is the aunt and grandmother so hard.
The old lady's face was pale, and there was pain in her eyes, and she asked, "How did you have a miscarriage?" ”
The maid shook her head, "I don't know, the maid who came to report the news only said that the aunt and grandmother had a miscarriage, and didn't say anything else." ”
